class descriptions
To begin, begin. If you can breathe, you can practice yoga. Explore movement, stillness and everything in between.
YOGA FLOW
Breathe and go with the flow! This energizing flow of yoga poses links breath and movement together. You’ll cultivate awareness while actively building strength and flexibility. Variations will be offered that enable you to practice at your own pace.
YIN YOGA
Yin Yoga invites you to slow down and create space for stillness while nourishing joints, ligaments, tendons and fascia. Yin is yoga at its deepest, quietest, stillest moments. This class will have you on the floor most of the time, using as many props needed to create as little effort while holding poses. Poses are held for 2-5 minutes allowing joints and fascia to release.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
Restorative yoga, a blissfully sequenced form of therapeutic yoga, considered to be an antidote for stress and stress related diseases. Restorative yoga is a passive practice; you’ll drape yourself over props to find a deep sense of relaxation, along with a gentle opening through each new posture. As you release further into each pose, the stress in your life will melt away. Leave this class renewed, restored and rejuvenated.
Hot YOGA Flow
Room heated to 90-95*. This upbeat, dynamic class will move fluidly through a creative sequence and is designed to connect breath with movement. Chilled essential oil-infused towels offered during end of class relaxation. *Must be at least 16 years old to participate.
SLOW FLOW
Get to know yourself as you slow down in this moving meditation. Settle into each pose with a reflective pause and create the time to go inward.
MEDITATION
Meditation will explore focusing the mind and the ability to practice mindfulness. During each session, you may use breathing, sensory experiences, visualization, or intention. Meditation has been shown to reduce stress, improve attention, cope with difficult situations, and increase feelings of compassion. Comfortable clothes suggested. Chairs will be available.
YOGA NIDRA
Enter a deep state of conscious rest. Yoga Nidra is a very specific type of guided meditation. While propped with blankets and bolsters in Savasana, your awareness will be directed to your body, breath, and imagery that will guide you into an ultra relaxed state. In a world of busy, this is what we all need.
KUNDALINI YOGA
Move your energy. Your nervous system and body will be totally stimulated, and by the end of the class your whole body will be buzzing with spiritual awareness. Postures will be practiced up to 2 minutes, and will be dynamic with breath and movement. Kundalini places a huge emphasis on meditation, mantra chanting, and holding postures.
